Where I am harleys aren't so much of an issue as extremely loud uber eats scooters. Everywhere should just ban gas mopeds. The downside is it'll come off as a tax on underpaid uber eats drivers, but if the same rules apply to everyone it should end up going to the Uber Corporation and the people who use it instead of the drivers. As it is basically all of us are subsidizing uber eats with our ears.

I have a much harder time with light pollution than I do noise pollution.

Black out curtains work, but in my experience they can be harmful if you forget to open them.

Blackout curtains have different levels. From your comment it seems to me you probably tried 100% blackout curtains. Those are quite overkill.

You should try 80% blackout curtains, they block almost all of night lights and have a warm yellowish haze during the day.

Hu?

Where’d you hear curtains could harm you and in what way?

The lack of light could mess with your circadian rhythm. Causing you to sleep through alarms or miss the benefits of sunrise / sunset. Moot if you wake up before sunrise.

This is just my personal experience.
